That goes to say that if their businesses will do well, it will prop up our economy and that means more jobs for us here, not abroad. The GOP must support this elite group and encourage them to invest more, here in our motherland to create more jobs and help our economy grow.

And this is how a typical Republican justifies taking care of the wealthy because they will throw a few crumbs to the lower classes.

Actually nagstart ito nung Panahon ni Cory Aquino, kung saan yung mga mayayaman nag monopolize at pinalitan nila mga law sa mga foreign investors na papabor sa kanila. Yung batas na yun ang nagpapayaman sa kanila :-\
